The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Three Tears Vineyard Block B comes from a site roughly 2,000 feet up Howell Mountain. The “Three Tears Vineyard” is home to 13 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon. This Cabernet Sauvignon with a touch of Merlot is intensely layered with concentrated dark mountain fruit of blueberries, cherries, charred plum, and spiced currants. Then notes of cassis, crushed volcanic rock, and cedar carry through to the opulent, full-bodied palate. It is a beautiful example of classic Napa Cabernet Sauvignon showing the expression of the region’s terroir and winemaking prowess. While this is out of its shell now, it will continue to improve throughout the next 10 to 15 years.
